Venezuelans Ransack Stores as Hunger Grips the Nation

Venezuelans Ransack Stores as Hunger Grips the Nation.

Www.blackboxpolitics.comFacebook.com/breakingtheherd‪#‎NewWorldOrder‬“That headline one day will read Americans, instead of Venezuelans. You can not NOT pay a debt as a country and continue to print free money at 0.0% interest rates, which increases the debt 3 fold twice as fast, and not eventually expirience a collapse like Greece, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, ukraine etc. That’s like saying not being able to pay your debt and endless money printing is just as safe as vaccines, so safe the government has handed out hundreds of millions in vaccine injury claims in a government vaccine injury compensation program. In short, the point is people are not going to be able to comprehend the ‘injury’ that we are going to go through as a country and individual.”–FROMBlackBox Politics(TM)

CUMANÁ, Venezuela — With delivery trucks under constant attack, the nation’s food is now transported under armed guard. Soldiers stand watch over bakeries. The police fire rubber bullets at desperate mobs storming grocery stores, pharmacies and butcher shops. A 4-year-old girl was shot to death as street gangs fought over food.

Hundreds of people here in the city of Cumaná, home to one of the region’s independence heroes, marched on a supermarket in recent days, screaming for food. They forced open a large metal gate and poured inside. They snatched water, flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, potatoes, anything they could find, leaving behind only broken freezers and overturned shelves.

In the last two weeks alone, more than 50 food riots, protests and mass looting have erupted around the country. Scores of businesses have been stripped bare or destroyed. At least five people have been killed.

In one of the nation’s worst moments, riots spread from Caracas, the capital, in 1989, leaving hundreds dead at the hands of security forces. Known as the “Caracazo,” or the “Caracas clash,” they were set off by low oil prices, cuts in subsidies and a population that was suddenly impoverished.

The event seared the memory of a future president, Hugo Chávez, who said the country’s inability to provide for its people, and the state’s repression of the uprising, were the reasons Venezuela needed a socialist revolution.

Now his successors find themselves in a similar bind — or maybe even worse.

The nation is anxiously searching for ways to feed itself.\

The economic collapse of recent years has left it unable to produce enough food on its own or import what it needs from abroad. Cities have been militarized under an emergency decree from President Nicolás Maduro, the man Mr. Chávez picked to carry on with his revolution before he died three years ago.

“If there is no food, there will be more riots,” said Raibelis Henriquez, 19, who waited all day for bread in Cumaná, where at least 22 businesses were attacked in a single day last week.
